Frida's pov
Me, Agnetha, Björn and Benny are in the studio working on our new album Arrival.
"Guys, come on it's late. We should go home" Agnetha says and puts her head in her hands. The clock is almost 11 pm. "No! We're never going to be finished with this!" Björn says, almost yelling. Agnetha looks at me and rolls her eyes. Something's wrong with Björn and Agnetha. Lately there's been a unpleasant atmosphere between them. They barely say a word to each other without ending up fighting. And I can see in Agnetha's face that something is wrong, there's something in her eyes. I have asked Agnetha about it several times but she keeps telling me everything is fine. "Maybe Agnetha and I can go home? I mean, we're done with the recordings-" I say before Björn interrupts me. "Fine. Just go." Agnetha gives him an angry look. "Don't use that damn tone when talking to Frida!" What? Why would she defend me like that?
Before Björn can say anything, Benny says "Are you taking the car?"
"Yes" Agnetha says grabbing the keys. "Nope! We're walking" I take the keys from her hand and put them on the table. "I'm tired, Frida" I grin and grab her cheeks. "And you need some fresh air". She smiles, a genuine smile. I haven't seen that smile in a long time. Then it fades and she looks down on the floor. She looks so sad. I take her hands in mine and say "Come on honey, let's go" and then we're leaving.

It's September so it's not that cold outside yet. Agnetha and I are walking through the streets in Stockholm. We have been walking for ten minutes and we barely said a word to each other. But then I break the silence. "Agnetha? Can we sit down? I wanna talk to you about what's going on" I say. She sighs. "What do you mean?"
We sit down on the nearest bench. "Come on Agnetha. It's not like you and Björn are invisible. I can't stand seeing you like this, does he hurt you in some way?"
She begins to cry. My heart breaks seeing her like this. I pull her into a hug and let her cry out in my arms. "Let it all out, honey. It's gonna be okay, I'm here.."

Fifteen minutes later, she's still in my arms but she's not crying anymore. "It's not Björn. It's me. I don't love him anymore. I have tried to, but I just can't. But I have to pretend I do, because of Linda". Agnetha in a nutshell. Always put everyone else first. I get that she wants to protect her daughter, but she causes herself pain.
"Agnetha... Don't do this to yourself. If you don't love him anymore then you should divorce him. Pretending to love him won't make anything better" I say as I stroke her hair.
"What if you get in a huge fight when you're at home and Linda sees it? It would be better for both of you girls if you divorce him" I continue. "But what if he don't want a divorce and gets mad? What would happen to ABBA?" Her voice is breaking.
I didn't think about that. ABBA. No, this isn't important right now! "Honey, right now, your mental health is the most important thing. We have to make sure you become happy again"
She lets out a loud sigh. "But ABBA makes me happy. I love being in the studio and on stage singing together with you. You always make me feel happier, Frida" she says, squeezing my hand. Please she's the cutest. I hold her her tighter in my arms and kisses her forehead.

"Frida? Promise me you'll never leave me. No matter what." She says and looks up at me. I smile. "Of course. I will always be here. You're my best friend" She gets out of my arms. "Best friend. Yeah. Best friend..." Now she have that sad look in her eyes again. Her hands are shaking and she looks up at me with her eyes full of tears. "Agnetha?" I reach out for her hands but she stands up. "I can't be here with you right now! Don't you understand Frida?" She says, crying. I try to get words out of my mouth but I can't say anything. What is going on right now? All I can do is shaking my head. "The reason I don't love Björn anymore is because I love you! I'm so madly in love with you, and now I'm embarrassed so I'm going to run away from you now. And please, can you just forget what I just said" She gives me one last look in the eyes, and then within 10 seconds she's gone. And left there's me, the girl who just got a declaration of love by her best friend.

To be continued...
